Autumn Gardening
After the long drought, gardeners are finding themselves with unusual problems and worries as they prepare their gardens for the winter. What treatment do the parched lawns need? What about trees and shrubs that appear withered and shrivelled? What planting can be undertaken in the dry ground? And should some thought be given to methods of conserving water in case the same thing happens next year?
Put your questions to the two experts, Frances Perry and Arthur Billitt.
In the Chair Jill Burridge
Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit

Bridge and Blue Gentians by IRIS MACFARLANE
Read by Mary Wimbush
' She thought a lot in metaphors now; the rope of seven strands that tied her to her desires, the ocean into which she, the dewdrop, would eventually melt ... She murmured words like " blessed void" or "eternal sleep" as she sliced and peeled, and squirted liquid on the window panes.'
